[RE-wrenches] Painting rails

[August Goers]

Hi Benn,

This sounds tricky. We've occasionally painted silver rail black on the
ends with Rust-Oleum matte black paint. It always seems to adhere well but
I don't know for sure how long it will last. I've never tried painting
silver over black.

Is the client unhappy with black rail and silver modules? As long as
you're consistent with the type of rail maybe you can talk them into
leaving it?


Best,

August

Anyone successfully/properly painted silver/anodized rails to black, or
black rails to silver to match module frames?

We have a large project and the supplier hiccup'd the order (if you can
believe it). The black rails are already installed and silver framed
modules are what arrived.

One of the options being considered is painting the visible black rail
portions to silver.
Are there any known, tried and true methods/products for doing this so
that the paint will last?

Reluctantly,
benn
